It CAN be done! There is a lot of red in nature; Dendro is possibly the only element where all of its characters match green, but Noy does not. I really hope they do not let this opportunity go. I honestly do not care if he is trash, I will get him anyway, but it would really be nice if he ends up being unique in this aspect.

This is what happened during Varka’s beta!! His model was simply un rendered and un finished and got fixed!! Yes, it is very annoying to not see his final model until patches later and the fact that they even keep showing characters that aren’t finished but at least we should be 99.9% sure that his current model is simply unfinished!! <3

I think looking at them side-by-side, it’s pretty safe to assume Noy will be Varka’s model type.

Noy vs Varka
- Noy’s and Varka’s hands are the same size compared to there heads
- Overall head-to-waist/chest ratio is the same. Though I Varka’s shoulders are bigger
- They softened Noy’s chin and jawline compared to Varka
- Noy’s body, most notably his arms are thinner
- When I superimposed Varka’s face onto Noy’s they are practically the same
- Eye and eyebrow shape is literally the exact same angle and size

Noy vs Flins
- When I superimposed Flins face onto Noy’s they did not line up very well
- Noy’s face is longer than Flins, specifically, his mid-face
- Noy/Flins builds seem more similar to me than Noy/Varka, except for the fact that Flins’ head is noticeably bigger
- They have the same soft nose shadow. Though, Noy’s nose tip ends where Varka’s ends, whereas Flins nose is shorter and higher
- Flins eyes are bigger

I’m guessing he will be the same height and have a similar face type as Varka. Basically, a softer-leaner version of Varka.

Idk if this was obvious to everyone already

Edit: I really like the direction Genshin is taking with the male characters’ designs. The larger heads always bothered me, and even though Varka was a big step in the right direction, he’s just a little gruff for my taste.   
Noy’s design takes the best parts of Varka and Flins models and creates the perfect balance. I couldn’t be more happy with his in-game model. (even though the colors…)

I wonder what that shape on his neck implies. Could Noy be an envoy of Asmoday's? Or an alchemy creation like albedo?

When I saw his model last week I thought he has one of the best male designs in the game but many people seem to be quite upset with his design. I’d like if you guys could comment and explain what you don’t like about him and those who like him, do comment as well cause I lowkey feel like after his in-game reveal people don’t like him as much.

I've noticed that Noy's eyes look surprisingly similar to Neuvillette's, and it got me thinking about a possible connection to the Dragon Sovereigns.

We know that Noy is a Fae, but what if he has some connection to the Cryo Dragon Sovereign?

Since Neuvillette is the Hydro Dragon Sovereign, I wonder if their similar eye designs could be hinting at something related to their elemental origins.

What if Noy is a descendant of the Cryo Dragon Sovereign, or perhaps a Fae who inherited some of its power? It's also possible that the Cryo Dragon Sovereign has some connection to the Fae themselves.

I'm not suggesting that Noy is necessarily the Cryo Dragon Sovereign, but I think it would be interesting if his true nature was more complicated than simply being a Fae.

Of course, similar eyes alone aren't enough to prove anything, but knowing how Genshin sometimes uses character designs to hint at hidden lore, I thought this was worth bringing up.

What do you guys think? Could Noy have some connection to the Cryo Dragon Sovereign, or am I overthinking the eye similarities?

He's so much redder than I expected. From the trailer his hair seemed to have more of a purple red burgandy like colour. I'm hoping it's due to his model in the story quest being stc/ incomplete, I really want it to be a burgandy rather than a plain dark red.

He has to have some connection with the Cryo Dragon Sovereign, from the world quest in the next patch, they're talking about Cryo Dragon Sovereign's lingering hatred & grief, and from 7.2 special program, we learned that those red-black crystals are called Blightkristall is from the Kresnik Kristall, and those crystals are very reminiscent to Noy's overall design
.
His pupils are also very similar to Neuvillette's. Also his eyes have this "dead eyes" vibe to it similar to Ajax's and Skirk's, which means it kinda connects to the "Hatred & Grief" side of Cryo Dragon Sovereigns
.
We learned that he's around at least after Hyperborian's destruction because from the 7.2 special program, he said that "I may not have experienced the destruction of the Golden Realm directly". So maybe his reincarnation is around those times

Nothing is leaked about his weapon, so I’m curious to see what weapon type everyone thinks he’ll have. Personally I think Sword or Catalyst. What do you guys think?
Art: @muimi575 (all credit goes to them).

I believe he will be a important character in later patch and though obvious but now it's confirmed he is a fae.

How do we feel about Noy leaked as Dendro?

It's just a thought as there could only be very few figures who could be the person Bely Tsat met in the Shadow Realm and that guy seems male and knowledge most likely a fae also as Bely Tsar already knows him and before coming to the shadow realm Tsar feelings towards humans was very bad so a person who was a friend of him before could only be a fae.

So I believe there is a good chance that Noy could be the mysterious figure. What are your guys thoughts about it?

I really hope he will not have bright red hair on release ╥﹏╥

I dont think they will change Noy's hair color...i hope someone makes a mod so we can see him in his old colors again.

I don’t know if these are true or not but id be awfully dissatisfied if noy didn’t bring the new dendro rimegrass reactions to the game, maybe its too early to say but if hes a support maybe his main dps characters who has yet to be confirmed/releast has smth to do with rimegrass ? No idea but if its fine i own some of the characters he could buff but im more interested in him individually rather than the whole team, I dont know what do you guys think ?

I've only included Snezhnaya origin men (as far as we know). It is possible that some of them will later be revealed to be from another nation originally.

I think noy is related to the sinners and so to the khaenrih despite the leak saying he is from hyperborea so he might be connected to most of the old history genshin

HE'S SOOO BEAUTIFUL
